  You can really stop saying "I hope I don't bore you" . Bonsai is patience, you explain so well with so many examples, if people don't have the patience for that then they won't have patience to grow a tree into bonsai I'd say. I love watching how passionate you are about it and to learn so much about how to turn a tree into the aesthetics that you think is nice. Even if not everyone likes every tree. Seeing how with patience the mature trees come out after much suffering is amazing !

  This is the most important video on bonsai I have seen. I hate those people who recommend all sort of grotesque techniques like splitting the trunk at the bottom. Thanks Peter. Its a slow process, but so what? Bonsai also teaches us patience and an ability to look forward to ten years/twenty years.

  I learnt a new term today, 'twiggery'. Something I will always use.

  When you say, which branch shall we keep, I love to guess. I'm usually wrong. Oh, well. Still fun.

  thank you Peter! i took early retirement and have just started learning about bonsai.  i have used your lessons to prune a 20+ years old juniper tree in my garden. it’s not a bonsai of course bur the practice has been very useful.  when i go on walks, i also been looking at trees differently  … noticing the nebari or its ramifications!  many thanks for bringing more awareness and understanding!   i can’t wait to get started on a real sapling so that in 30 years time, i can say Peter Chan changed my life!
